Desperately.

Hmm, this isn't a question...so I guess it is open to be commented on...
or
for questions to be asked.
I was just pulled to say it.

People often 'need' something from God...well, guess what?
'He' needs you...your heart's love... desperately.
(I don't make these things up or read these things.)


If one person opens to a new 'Ah-ha moment' then, perfect.

God has no such desperation. And no, god doesn't need jack ****... or wants your hearts love. Thats only part of the egoic spiritual journey which secretly maintains the story of separation. All is well, beyond concepts of good and bad. You are god pretending not to know.

I agree but see it slightly differently. My divinity wants desperately to be known by me. It's something I've been drawn to lately, a different kind of understanding. I sense that everything is in me, that I don't need to appeal to an authority figure. Everything I thought was out there, that I wanted to help me, was always within me. It's a feeling I have.

Thanks for the post, it got me thinking!

Exactly...humans create the essence of creation in so many ways of their own human indulgence. We indulge in our own story that describes the process of opening to what is. The feelings, descriptions, need's and desires stem from our own feelings, our own self becoming aware of itself from its own ability to know more, open to more. The mind believes its own limitations of itself, weighs itself up against itself in everyway of its own creation. Yet all the while believing it is "something" doing this. Awareness allows us to be aware of more. More of ourselves, more of life, then we learn the simplicity of being a clear vessel open to create and just be ourselves more in harmony with the whole connection we are most naturally, when we understand and feel this as ourselves.

god does not press up on us at spiritual / mathematical

up matters are god's matters, down matters are our highly
own smarter matters, we got our own recipe and god's got his

'we love god makes us hefty chunky right at the right price.
we love god makes us hefty chunky right at the right price'

'god did not tell us to' when we start up our lazy / scrooge-ing stuff

be your guest at that - dig in........................

You are very lucky....I use luck like I use blessed...
I just do not get it exactly but wherever I go...no matter how 'high' I 'get'...
I mean, as in leaving my body in meditation until I think this is it...I am not coming back...
no silver cord even...there is this Presence of Another.
So many I respect, say this One is the True Self...I know...
But for me I am always presented with this Higher Power...yes, within me...
all around me...but I have not gotten to a point where the One that has created and maintains and is conscious of All is 'me'...
Maybe because I am so into tasting the sugar and nor being the sugar...i do not know...and it does not bother or really concern me.

I do look to the Masters and Yogis...whether it be Jesus, Hafiz, Yukteswar...
whomever...they also seem to worship and adore This Divine One.

But, I highly respect those, like you, Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta that have found or been revealed
a niche of feeling they are This One...together and one....

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru
